Thing #23 - Reflection




I am actually kinda of sad this class is at an end - so instead of looking at as an end I am creating my own Thing list to work on over the next months as I try to incorporate more technology seamlessly into my classroom and life.

Thing #1 - Work on my school web page (look for tutorials offered by web pages or LPS)

Thing #2 - Create Wiki for Principles of Chemistry Classroom

Thing #3 - Continue to work on Wiki for AP Chemistry classroom

Thing #4 - Download and learn how to use Photostory

Thing #5 - Create a photostory for open house

Thing #6 - Learn how to use an ebeam

Thing #7 - Come up with ideas for effective blog use in the classroom

Thing #8 - Revisit FLICKR for good review games (need to take lots of photos)

Thing #9 - Revisit Knowtes to create good activity for students

Thing #10 - Incorporate Delicious bookmarking into the wiki

Thing #11 - Find some good podcasting resources for students

Thing #12 - HAVE FUN! PLAY WITH MY KIDS! ENJOY HAVING MY HUSBAND HOME FOR THE SUMMER!

It has been a long time since I have done a class for the pure joy of learning - instead of just trying to rush through to "get it done." I am looking forward to revisiting the 23 Things blog as well as my own blog for new ideas.

I am writing this to remind myself to start small, remember there will be mistakes, I don't have to do it all at once, I have resources, I have friends who will help, ask my students for help, keep learning!

Thank you for an enjoyable and beneficial class. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in incorporating technology into the classroom!

  3. I agree with Sunni! I am going to copy your list too. Since I'm only at thing 11, I have a ways to go. You are an inspiration though! Can't wait to trade notes with you soon!
